<UL><LI>What’s up all!? I am writing this post today hoping I can find an answer to my problem.. I have been playing Anthem ALOT since it dropped (PS4) and since I have beaten the game and reached level 30 I have not gotten 1 single Legendary item!! Since I unlocked the legionnaire challenge (The one where you need to do 25 strongholds, 25 contracts, quick play, etc) I have completed 30 plus strongholds, quick plays, world events, contracts, etc all while at least running them on Grandmaster 1 or 2 and still haven’t received any Legendary items! All my friends (who I play more than) get Legendary items on average at least 1 or 2 a week and it drive me crazy that I can’t progress!! Also, I watched a video recently (not sure if this is correct or not) that explained I needed to raise my luck as high as possible and run these events on Grandmaster 1 in order to increase my chance at Legendary items.. For the past week I have played Anthem on grandmaster 1 with gear I wouldn’t normally use with at least 150 to 200 percent luck and STILL HAVENT GOTTEN ANYTHING.. The last time my Bro played with me (who doesn’t play half as much as me) I suggested to him to raise his luck and run grandmaster 1 w/ me and within 5 minutes he got a legendary item (his 5th) and I didn’t get squat! Bottom line I Love this game and just want to progress... Any suggestions??</LI></UL><P>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Your Friend,</P><P>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;LoboDADDY69&nbsp;</P>Tue, 12 Mar 2019 23:02:36 GMThttps://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion/Need-help-w-Legendary-Drops/m-p/7673637#M56725DIRTYBiker692019-03-12T23:02:36ZRe: Need help w/ Legendary Dropshttps://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion/Need-help-w-Legendary-Drops/m-p/7673651#M56728
<P>There have been conversations about luck, and it's importance, in several places.

<P>I believe the devs said diminishing returns. I've seen others say it hinders more than it helps.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Until the loot gets fixed, I'm not sure we will really have a definitive answer.

<P>Got my third one today. All three came in GM1 freeplay. Two of those on a build with only 30 luck. At least two off non-event mobs. I spend a decent amount of time in freeplay, but this certainly feels disproportionate (but, hey, small sample size warning).</P>Tue, 12 Mar 2019 23:51:29 GMThttps://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion/Need-help-w-Legendary-Drops/m-p/7673793#M56760Banfilidh2019-03-12T23:51:29ZRe: Need help w/ Legendary Dropshttps://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion/Need-help-w-Legendary-Drops/m-p/7673846#M56772
<P>Theyve changed it yet again. Went in today with almost 300 Luck and got a legendary in Freeplay. Friend had gotten two with almost that much.(worthless to say the least but yes legendarys.)</P>Wed, 13 Mar 2019 00:07:33 GMThttps://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion/Need-help-w-Legendary-Drops/m-p/7673846#M56772Ticklepink682019-03-13T00:07:33ZRe: Need help w/ Legendary Dropshttps://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion/Need-help-w-Legendary-Drops/m-p/7673878#M56781
<P>90 is the cap for luck, as it's threshold based, and that is the absolute highest one. Dev specifically said 90 is cap.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>As for what happens when going over? No one really knows. Legendaries are very rare, there are lots of factors ( including many we have no information on ), and Anthem is super streaky. All of this makes it pretty much impossible for us to figure out what luck is or is not doing.</P>Wed, 13 Mar 2019 00:18:21 GMThttps://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion/Need-help-w-Legendary-Drops/m-p/7673878#M56781Zemerick2019-03-13T00:18:21ZRe: Need help w/ Legendary Dropshttps://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion/Need-help-w-Legendary-Drops/m-p/7673897#M56789

<P>Personally I think it has a little to do with how long played and&nbsp; whether the game thinks you're farming or not. All of my legendarys have come within 30 minutes of logging in. If you haven't gotten a legendary after three hours of TM you're not gonna..move to contracts..none there?..move to freeplay.None there? Turn the game off for an hour and come back after dinner. But that's just a hypothesis.</P>Wed, 13 Mar 2019 04:20:58 GMThttps://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion/Need-help-w-Legendary-Drops/m-p/7674445#M56885Ticklepink682019-03-13T04:20:58ZRe: Need help w/ Legendary Dropshttps://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion/Need-help-w-Legendary-Drops/m-p/7675575#M57021
<P>I’ve been in the same boat running endless strongholds, contracts, and free play on gm1 for one legendary. I feel like I’ve hit a wall as I’m not progressing at all anymore I don’t really get many MW either. Feels like a waste of game hours. Anything that ever comes down to luck at you can pretty much guarantee I’m not going to get anywhere at.</P>Wed, 13 Mar 2019 11:31:29 GMThttps://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion/Need-help-w-Legendary-Drops/m-p/7675575#M57021jwhitsta2019-03-13T11:31:29ZRe: Need help w/ Legendary Dropshttps://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion/Need-help-w-Legendary-Drops/m-p/7675700#M57037

Here is a great article on luck, I highly recommend reading this. I read and followed this guide once I hit 30. I had all epics but my luck value was around 180% from gear and after 3 contracts and 2 strongholds I had all but 1 piece of gear for my storm javelin. I also got 2 legendary drops during those runs.<BR /><BR /><A href="https://gamerant.com/anthem-how-luck-work/" target="_blank">https://gamerant.com/anthem-how-luck-work/</A><BR /><BR />You need over 100% luck to get decent gear. You start off with zero luck and work your way upward. Once you hit 100% every 10 points more in luck provides you a higher threshold.<BR /><BR />At 180% luck when I ran those strongholds and contracts prior to the recent mod I got zero commons and uncommon pieces. I got maybe 2 rares from drops, a few epics drops, 2 legendary and quite a few masterwork gear pieces.<BR /><BR />Many will state that luck does not impact drop rate. I agree if you are under 100% luck. Once you hit 101% luck things start to change, better gear drops and the inscriptions on the gear are really good.<BR /><BR />I picked up a Masterwork Elemental Rage Assault Riffle that has 25% speed increase in both L1 and R1 and damage as well. This weapon is always equipped on my storm. The masterwork pistol I use has 50% armor and 60% shield with 25% gear and weapon damage with the javelin icon, making impact my full character and not just the weapon.<BR /><BR />I find around 170-180% luck to be the sweet spot. I will also state this, my friends who ran with me was getting 1 legendary every run. It was always my kill that dropped the legendary. I think luck stat impacts not only your luck but your luck helping your group out. Just a food for thought.<BR /><BR />If you friends are running luck based builds that might be the problem.Wed, 13 Mar 2019 13:35:22 GMThttps://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion/Need-help-w-Legendary-Drops/m-p/7676113#M57086MEBengal20012019-03-13T13:35:22Z
